GROOVY-7181: Change DefaultGroovyMethods inject impl. to avoid closure arguments mutation

Change DefaultGroovyMethods inject impl. to avoid closure arguments mutation,
it creates problem currently for memoization because of
Arrays.asList(Object[] params) use as key for caching value but during
the iteration underlying array modified and which is breaking
java.util.Map contract.
GROOVY-7112: Correct memoization array parameter name generation

For class/interface array java type name generated using following
encoding: 'Lclassname;', now for array type using componentType.class +
'Array' to avoid ';' invalid character

GROOVY-7193: Unnecessary call site generation for recursive calls
Add "fast path" comparisons for common cases
   * . This dramatically improves performance of a<b style comparisons in the case a or b are of Integer, Long and Double types.
   * There's no other test made to keep the ability for the JIT to inline compareLessThan and friends
